Boarding school has always been seen as an opportunity to get a good education, and to learn a bit about the realities of life…. But just what does that mean?
Unfortunately in the past and possibly even still today, that has meant children having to endure a certain amount of bullying and brutality, from fellow students and also from the teaching staff!
This book consists of a collection of incidents experienced by a young man called Hedge during his teenage years at boarding school.
Hedge is one of the main characters in the acclaimed Hedge & Cole Thriller Series by Kevin Bradley.
Bully Boys is a one-off collection, and can be read as a supplement to the Hedge & Cole series, or as a perfectly entertaining book in its own right.
Many of the events are brutal and sadistic. Others are just simply bullying at its worst. But all of them help to explain part of the makeup of Hedge’s nervous personality.
Some of the situations described in this collection are from existing Hedge & Cole thrillers, whilst others are completely new material.
Most of the experiences detailed here relate to bullying that occurred during Hedge’s time at Upperdale College, but some of them are on a lighter theme, and there are several incidents that he would have been only too pleased to remember!
What people are saying about The Hedge & Cole Thriller novels
“I’ve read all of the books in the Hedge & Cole series now. They are all highly entertaining and well written. I can’t wait for the next instalment.”
“What a stunning set of books. I can’t decide whether they remind me of Jack Higgins, Mark Dawson or Stephen Leather. Probably a combination of all three I guess.”
“This is quite a shocking book, and not for the faint-hearted. The story line covers a difficult subject. We all know that child trafficking is a wicked thing, but after reading this, you’ll realise that it’s much worse than that. Strong praise is due for not avoiding a terrible topic.” (The Cuba Cage)
“I can definitely recommend this book. It’s well written and will keep you gripped from start to finish. Don’t expect to put it down until you reach the last page.” (The Palindrome Cult)
“What I like about this author is the fast pace and the gripping storyline. The two main characters interact well. I’m a real fan of Hedge and Cole.” (The Cuba Cage)
“As with other books by this author, there’s a touch of Lee Child about this. (The Terminate Code)”
